Chandler man accused of assault with ‘holy water’

PHOENIX — Authorities say a Chandler man is accused of assault for spraying two people in the face with a homemade liquid he called “holy water.”

Chandler police say 36-year-old Francisco Javier Villa allegedly sprayed two men with a thick, dark-yellow liquid in an apartment-complex parking lot last Thursday.

According to a court document, Villa told police the liquid was “holy water” and that it contained vegetable oil, bleach and hot sauce. CBS 5 News in Phoenix reports Villa claimed he got the liquid from the Mormon Temple in Mesa.
